Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries
Bali's cuisine is a vibrant mix of flavors, deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage. A must-try is the famous 'Babi Guling', a Balinese-style roast pork that's a local favorite. For those who prefer chicken, 'Ayam Betutu' – a slow-cooked dish marinated in an array of local spices – is an absolute delight. Seafood lovers should not miss 'Ikan Bakar', freshly caught fish grilled to perfection with traditional Balinese spices.
Vegetarians can enjoy 'Gado-Gado', a delightful mix of steamed vegetables, tofu, and tempeh, drizzled with a savory peanut sauce. Another not-to-be-missed dish is 'Nasi Campur', a mixed rice dish accompanied by a variety of sides, offering a little taste of everything.
In terms of drinks, 'Arak', a traditional Balinese spirit made from distilled rice or palm sap, is popular among locals. For a non-alcoholic option, 'Bali Coffee', known for its strong and rich flavor, is a great choice, especially when paired with a local sweet treat like 'Dadar Gulung', a green pancake roll filled with sweet coconut.
At each spot in our audio guide, we will provide recommendations for the nearest restaurants that are highly rated by Google's users. This way, you can easily find the best places to experience these delightful Balinese flavors and dishes, making your gastronomic journey in Bali truly unforgettable.
Transportation and getting around the city
When you land at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, you have several options for getting to Denpasar or around the island. The most convenient way to reach the city from the airport is by taxi. There's an official taxi counter inside the airport, where you can get a fixed-price fare to your destination. It's straightforward and avoids any haggling.
Once in Denpasar, public transport is an adventure in itself! Bemo, the local mini-buses, are a common and inexpensive way to get around, but they can be a bit confusing for first-timers. They don't have fixed schedules, so ask locals for guidance. For exploring areas further afield, consider renting a scooter or a car – it gives you the freedom to move around at your own pace.
Taxis are plentiful in Denpasar and Bali. Always opt for metered taxis to avoid overpaying. Blue Bird taxis are reliable and easy to spot with their blue cars and bird logo. You can hail them on the street or use their app to book a ride.
For a more relaxed exploration, walking is great in certain areas, especially in the tourist-friendly zones like Ubud, where you can stroll around the markets, rice fields, and temples. In Denpasar, the city's layout and traffic might make walking less appealing, but it's still doable in some parts, especially the central area where you can explore local markets and museums.
If you're interested in a more structured approach to sightseeing, consider hop-on hop-off tour buses. They're a convenient way to see the major attractions without the hassle of navigating public transport. You can get tickets online or at various tourist centers around the city.
Remember, while exploring Bali, be adventurous but also be mindful of local traffic rules and customs, especially if you're renting a scooter or a car. Enjoy your journey around this beautiful island!
